Ben-Coombs's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mask]

I like it

Very nice, great animation, camera angles etc. The sketchy black and white style works well. Some criticisms: the music could have been faster paced for the battle scene, it didn't fit too well. Also, the ending wasn't too brilliant... but the part where he sees his own face under the mask is good. So is the way his sword can become a crow, nice idea. Good job.

[Bones]

Rëälly grëät

This was very well done. The backgrounds were excellent, and the characters were góod too. The 'punchline' at the end made me laugh. And good choice of song at the end. One thing to note... they didn't have any obvious reason to explode the dog - but then again randomness can be funny. Good work.

[Glurk!]

Nice one

But I have to say: that was one tiny rat. But anyway, it's still funny and well made. Good job.

spanks!

[C&D #3 Trip to Hawaii]

Fünny

I like the way you did this, with the photographs and all that. The jokes are good, and the voices made me laugh too. That fish with the human face was pretty strange... I probably missed something. Anyway, a good flash, made me laugh anyway. I should stop saying 'anyway'. I've got to watch the others now.

hehe, good review . thnx

[Look at teh Phil!]

I want to see more now

Nice flash movie here, I like the drawings and animation, some interesting 'camera' angles I noticed. It was fun to see him cause massive destruction and all that. I liked the design of the robot too for some reason. Some improvements - some of the animations could have been improved eg. when the lab building collapses; also some things happen off screen like that Cage guy being crushed by rubble, I think they should be shown for a much better effect.

[Alpha Soldiers: Part II]

Well I like it

I could list the good things about this series. But that would take too long.
So I'll say this would be so much more amazing if the people looked more like actual people. I know it's quicker and easier to animate... but it just looks wrong... arms coming out of the base of the neck, no hands, spherical heads, and so on. I mean, when he becomes a cyborg super-soldier it would look great with various robotic parts and metal showing but he's just a bunch of thick blue lines with a head. Also, the mutants they are fighting would look a lot more intimidating if they had actual bodies... being thin and weak looking as they are they don't look like they could do much damage, more like they'd snap if you touch them. Also, different clothing and things instead of plain flat colour would really make the characters more interesting. I just find all the characters look silly and don't fit with the rest of the movie.
Buuuut anyway, great animation and I await part three with much anticipation.

[Fantastic Realm Chapter 2]

Very well done

Even better than number one, this is all very good. I like the evil lich/sorcrer/demon guy, and the part where the friar is revealed as some sort of zombie/goblin/monster. Well, I like it all actually. Hope to see part three some time!

[Fantastic Realm Chapter 1]

Nice one

What can I say... I wish I could do stuff as good as this. Great artwork and animation and so is the music. I'm off to watch part 2 now.

[The Real Legend 2]

!!

But link is so cool, what did you do to him??

Then again, it's a work of all round genius! Amazing work.

[TmsT's Zero Wing Rhapsody]

Funny!

Ahem... 'All my 5 are belong to this'
